Justin,

I don't have time to test this out at the moment, but one of my clients asked me for almost exactly this feature just a few days ago. I can't wait until I have time to test it!

Keep up the great work,

Moshe

I've been working on making developing user-facing templates for Dada Mail that you see in the browser a little easier to create. One problem is that no one *really* seems to want to take a design and modify it to work w/Dada Mail - it's too much of a hassle to add to a workflow. So I give you, Magic Templates! 

Rather than have to hand craft a template, you just point it to an already existing page (say, your home page), tell Dada Mail what CSS selector to replace with Dada Mail's own content and be done with it. Attached is a shot of the options currently available. 

You can see what this creates on my own install, 


Again: there's no real template involved: I'm just fetching the homepage, and replacing the content in a div with my own. 

This makes integrating Dada Mail with the rest of your site a ton easier. I'll have a dev release out soon, 

Cheers,
